King of the Nerds - TBS

Post by lankybrit

Starts tomorrow I think, and apparently, one of the contestants is a WoW expert.

Cheers.

Actually it started 2 weeks ago. But I'm sure you can find the episodes online somewhere.

And the girl with pink hair, Daniella (sp?), is the wow expert. She is a YouTube celeb.

I like the show. I just can't stand Alana.

Ahh. I googled and went to the TBS web-site. I selected 'Schedule', and it shows being on tomorrow. That's probably a replay of the first two episodes. So I can catch up.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers.

Yeah, the new episodes come on TBS, Thursday at 10 pm est and they show the same episode 2 hours later.

On the first episode it has Daniella wearing a horde shirt and she shouts "lok'tar ogar". The next one she wears a costume the resembles a night elf, mainly due to the large pointy ears and the flower bikini she wears. i think I'm in love lol

As for the rest of the cast, it is quite varied. One girl works at NASA another is a pro gamer. There is also a mathmatician as well as electrical engineers and several others with jobs like that.

The one I mentioned earlier, Alana, isn't really that great. They say that she is a Batman fanatic.

I watched the first two episodes.

It's quite fun. They are so nerdy. Danielle is really cute though and I hope she sticks around for a long time.

I hope Alana gets booted off soon. She's the only one of them that I don't really like.

Cheers.

Saw this thread yeaterday and downloaded the first two episodes. WOW. It's brilliant! The best reality show by a mile (though that's hardly saying anything).

I can't stand Alana though.

Episode 3 is tonight. Can't wait.

Go go Danielle!

Cheers.

Glad Danielle made it. To me it seems like Brandon was screwing up on purpose. He even said that there was a delay between him turning the wheel and the cart actually moving. You would think a neuroscientist would turn the wheel a little bit before you wanted to so the cart would move when it needed to.

But whatever. Can't wait for next week, a comic debate would seem interesting.

Yeah. It also seemed suspicious to me when Jon missed by 1 gnome, and Alana got over 1000 points on a single roll. After the die stopped.

I really liked Brandon, but I'm happy Danielle won :P

I haven't watched any of this, but I have a feeling that because Danielle already is famous in her own way she is almost guaranteed to win.

Post by lankybrit

Phew - Danielle made it.

Is it just me, or does anyone feel this is starting to look very scripted? Do they do the same things over and over until they get the result they want, and then put that footage up? We have two shining examples:

1. The Die roll for the Nerd-off between Alana and John. Seriously?

2. The flying copter of Virgil. Seriously?

BTW: Danielle has gone down a bit in my estimation. She was pretty whiny. It's a game, girl. Haven't you ever watched Survivor? People will lie for $100,000. Instead of a solid 10, she's now only a 9 :)

Cheers.

He seemed fixated on turning circle, for whatever reason. When Danielle went past anything, she just backed up, but Bradon kept trying to do massive turning circles. That's Neuroscientists for you, I guess :)

Cheers.

Get ready everyone. Episode 4 tonight!

Cheers.

Post by Nathanyal

I believe that Celeste will do bad tonight. She's a pro gamer, I doubt she knows much about comics.

Post by lankybrit

Spot on Nathanyal, but not for the reason you stated. She was just shy and froze.

What a great episode.

Danielle went down to an 8 for me with her early meltdown, but she was a cute drunk and got back up to a 10 making up with the team, and for her performance in the 'debate'.

And, Ding Dong the Witch is dead!

Cheers.

Episode 5 tonight.

Will Danielle be cuter than ever? Who will get booted off?

Cheers.

Danielle was quite the sore loser after the first challenge. But her and Moo wrestling made up for it.

I just wish I could have saw the sudoku puzzle at the beginning, I would have liked to try and figure it out alongside them.

The memory game looked like it was fun. But Ivan just got the worse of those tennis balls. And they both got laid out by the sumo.

Post by lankybrit

Yeah, nice Episode, and totally agree about Danielle. It was also fun when she said 'let me tell you tons of reasons.......' and then could only come up with a couple. And yes, Mooesha (sp?) is growing on me after that episode.

Only 2 blokes left and 4 girls. They are damn sneaky, those girls.

Cheers.

It's Moogega, and the "g's" are pronounced weird, I can't really explain it.

I'm kind of rooting for Ivan to win, next is Moo or Celeste.

Ivan was a bit of a jerk this episode though. Demanding that the other team look him in they and tell him he was the best choice. WTF?

Cheers.
